48 Report of the President 



DECEASED TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS 



It is with a profound sense of our loss that we announce the 



death of the following Trustees and Members 



during the year 1909: 



Trustees 

 Cornelius C. Cuyler D. O. Mills 



Patrons 

 Mrs. William E. Dodge Miss Phebe Anna Thorne 



Fellows 

 Miss Caroline Phelps Stokes Rutherfurd Stuyvesant 

 Life Members 

 Theodore K. Gibbs W. B. Isham 



John N. A. Griswold John S. Kennedy 



E. H. Harriman Fordham Morris 



In appreciation of Mr. Cuyler's interest in the Museum, 

 the Trustees adopted the following Minute at the regular 

 Quarterly Meeting of the Board, November 8, 1909: 



It is our very sad duty to record the untimely 

 death of 



Cornelius C. Cuyler 



at Biarritz, France, on July 31, 1909. 



Mr. Cuyler was elected a Trustee on February 8, 

 1904, to succeed the Honorable Abram S. Hewitt. 

 On the decease of Mr. Jesup, he became the especial 

 representative of that family. During the year 1909 

 he served on the Committee on Buildings and Plans 

 and on Finance. 



He began his service for the Museum with his 

 usual optimism, whole heartedness and sound judg- 

 ment, and was full of pride and hope as to his future 

 connection with its development. 



In common with many other institutions which 

 he served with rare fidelity and devotion, we deeply 

 mourn his loss and shall miss him at our councils.
